Subject: [PATCH 24/35] x86: Allow booting a kernel from the EFI app
Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2021 07:33:54 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210908133405.696481-9-sjg@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210908133405.696481-1-sjg@chromium.org>
At present this is disabled, but it should work so long as the kernel does
not need EFI services. Enable it and add a note about remaining work.
